Next Monday will be the 67th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, resulting in the fiery deaths of 140,000. The Guardian reports that a grandson of the American president who ordered the bombing is in Hiroshima to attend the memorial service.

Clifton Truman Daniel, 51, is the grandson of Harry Truman.

It is amazing that many, but not all, Americans believe the bombing was justified and the right thing to do.

The bombing is a good example of an out-and-out war crime. Harry Truman did not face trial because the U.S. was the victor. It seems that only leaders of the vanquished are brought up on war crimes.

But I commend Clifton Truman Daniel for recognizing the awful suffering and fate of 140,000 souls who were incinerated on that day back in 1945.

DEFEAT REP. JIM MATHESON 2ND CONG. DIST. UTAH

Rep. Jim Matheson votes against progressive values. Jim Matheson claims he is a "Blue Dog" Democrat. All that means is that he is against health care reform, against small people being able to obtain relief in bankruptcy, against Latino immigration. At the same time, Matheson supports the Defense of Marriage Act, the War in Iraq and Bush's tax cuts. Matheson claims to be a "Democrat," but he is worse than any mean Utah Republican.

Welcome to ROBERTO ANTONIO HUSSEIN - on the news and U.S. foreign policy.

Our goalis to review the news for content, balance and completeness. We take an iconoclastic and critical approach. We have seen what a spineless media will allow and pawn off as "news" when it takes the bait of people in power. Consider how the U.S. administration foisted the War in Iraq on an ill-informed public by using its many spokesmen and enablers in the media.
